maserati biturbo Fitment

[BofP]

Hello everyone, i just recently purchased a set of 14x7 Maserati Biturbo wheels with 0 offset, bolt pattern 4x98. Had anyone here on the forum been able to fit them on there e30. I tried using wobble bolts, but the bolts at an 1 1/2 inches didn't get enough thread to sit comfortably. Options and opinions would be nice.

I had some BBS RS 068, same dimensions and they worked fine.

Not so bad when going from a 4x98 to 4x100 (~1mm/.040" off per hole). The previous owner of my old Biturbo wheels just impacted them on his e30 so I just never used wobble bolts as the aluminum was already smashed around the lug holes.

Interesting maybe i got the wrong wobble bolts, they came in two sizes and wasnt sure which ones to get they had 12x1.5 and 14x1.5.

The opening is large enough that a wheel shop can do a redrill and press a steel sleeve into the hole to make it 4x100.

I had a set of 5x114.3 modified to be 5x112 this way.

That would be a 6mm movement (.25"). They would not need to use sleeves in a 4x98 to 4x100 conversion as it's only 1mm (.040", about the thickness of a business card).

So should i go about and do a redrill them? Or wobble bolts?

Redrilling them allows you to use a regular wheel bolt in case you lose one.

Lol. Depending on the stock used business cards are .015"-.020" (.4-.5mm). Typing paper is .004, human hair is .003", just demonstrating how small the measurement is. We would measure all kinds of random things in the machine shop while waiting for parts to drop. So, ok, two business cards. :P
